US campaign funding
Big bucks
Jul 7th 2008
From Economist.com
Presidential candidates are raising and spending more money than ever
WITH four months still to go, the 2008 presidential race is set to be the most expensive in history. Spending by all candidates has already surpassed the previous high of $823m (at 2008 prices). One notable development in the campaign is Barack Obama’s ability to raise money from small individual contributions of under $200. Of the $287.4m in his coffers, $135.7m has come from donations under $200. John McCain has raised just $32.3m of his smaller $104.6m war chest from such contributions. With an eye on this considerable gap, Mr McCain has accepted public funding and will be restricted to a spending limit of $85m. By contrast, Mr Obama’s controversial rejection of public cash means he is free to spend as much as he likes.
